An intense domestic drama of global consequence - for India then and for our world now. 1659. Mughal India. The imperial court; a place of opulence and excess; music; drugs; eunuchs and harems. Two brothers; whose mothers death inspired the Taj Mahal; are heirs to this Muslim empire. Now they fight ferociously for succession. Dara; the crown prince; has the love of the people - and of his emperor father - but younger brother Aurangzeb holds a different vision for Indias future. Islam inspires poetry in Dara; puritanical rigour in Aurangzeb. Can Jahanara; their beloved sister; assuage Aurangzebs resolve to seize the Peacock Throne and purge the empire? Originally performed by Ajoka Theatre; Pakistan; Tanya Ronders adaptation of Dara premiered at the National Theatre; London; in 2015.
